Hi, so I shoot sporting events mainly MLS games. However, I am not being paid for it. It’s more of a get you foot in the door type thing
So if I travel let’s say 6-7 hours and spend the night at an hotel. Can I write those things off?
I do other paid photography events like weddings etc.

I saw a very well-known actor give a panel. He said always get paid. Even if it’s minimal. I would agree. Just for self-respect, negotiate a payment. Then, you can justify writing off business expenses. If you’re not paid, you have no business, therefore cannot write anything off.
